LIVING with TOXINS

There’s no getting away from the fact that we ingest toxins all the time. Toxin Sources

To not do anything about eliminating these toxins in our bodies means we are not in optimum health. Symptoms of Toxicity

To be at our healthiest, we must either reduce or eliminate the toxins we come inro contact everyday, OR eliminate the toxins we do receive.

We can :

1. Avoid them by drastically changing our lifestyle, or

2. Radically change our environment, or

3. We can reduce their harmful effects by detoxing - implementing a strategy that constantly eliminates the toxins we receive.

1. A Total Change Of Lifestyle
(which is undesirable, impossible or impractical for many of us) would include :

Eating only raw, organic foods - no cooking
Drinking and using only pure, filtered water
Using environmentally friendly cleaning products
Using only natural personal care products and cosmetics
Living in a rural or isolated area with reduced air pollution
No microwaves, televisions or mobile phones
No drugs or medications of any kind
No fast foods or packaged foods
No bleaches or chlorine, so no swimming in chlorinated pools
No insect repellants or flyspray
No x-rays
No reading new magazines or books
No stress

(see Toxin Sources for more of what you need to avoid). Doesn’t sound very practical does it.. and following a lifestyle like that, while reducing the toxins we come into contact with, will still expose you to some of them.

2. Radically Change Our Environment

Society as we know it will need to drastically change. Healthy substitutes would need to be found to replace chemicals and other toxins currently used in industry, manufacture and agriculture; petrol-driven vehicles; processed foods etc.

Wide research into the damage we are inflicting on our environment is being carried out, and some procedures are being implemented, like the rapidly growing organic food industry. However, it will be many years before we can call our environment and ecosystems healthy.

Because pollution is everywhere, even rural and isolated areas are affected.

3. Detox - Eliminate The Toxins We Receive

If we cannot avoid toxins, which has now become impossible as technology increases and the food chain becomes increasingly more toxic, we must find a way to continuously eliminate the toxins we receive on a daily basis, to reduce their harm.

A rapid detox will kick start the process of elimination. Removing years of accumulated toxins will take longer detoxification, however, so the process can be continued using a detox diet, or by using detox products regularly.

Detoxification will go a long way towards restoring your health, then maintaining it.
Some medical practitioners already believe that detoxification is the missing link in Western medicine.

Instead of treating the symptoms of disease, detoxing removes the cause.
